New Leaf Credo camera back series for the Mamiya 645DF to ship in June
If you shelled out for the $5,990 Mamiya Phase One 645DF, you probably have the funds to support your photography habit. Mamiya Leaf wants you to expand your arsenal, offering three new digital backs to go with that medium-format camera. The Leaf Credo 40, 60 and 80 are named for the number of megapixels their CCD sensors are packing, and all have a dynamic range of 12.5 f-stops. Each sports a 3.2-inch, 1.15-megapixel touchscreen that extends beyond the edges of the LCD (so you can edit images without covering them up). The $19,495 Credo 40 is the fastest of the bunch, shooting at a rate of 1.2 fps, with a 43.9 x 32.9 mm sensor and an ISO range of 50-800. The $32,495 Credo 60 has the same ISO range but a 53.9 x 40.4 mm sensor and a slower 1-fps shooting rate. Finally, the $38,995 Leaf Credo 80 has the 53.7 x 40.3 mm sensor, a wider ISO sensitivity range of 35-800 and the slowest capture rate: 0.7 fps. The 80 also has two-minute max exposure time, while the 40 and 60 top off at one minute. Mamiya Leaf says all three models will start shipping in June. If that steep pricing hasn't scared you away, you can jump past the break for the full press release.
